OBJECTIVE: Bkv-miR-B1-5p, one of the microRNAs encoded by BK virus, was recently reported to be elevated in the blood among the patients with BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). Urinary exosome was suggested to be a possible source of biomarker for kidney d...
Early detection of gastric cancer (GC) is crucial to improve the therapeutic effect and prolong the survival of patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small non-protein-coding RNAs that function as repressors of diverse genes. We aimed to identi...

In order to understand the mechanisms underlying stress responses, meta-analysis of transcriptome is made to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their biological, molecular and cellular mechanisms in response to stressors. The present ...
BACKGROUND: More than 1/3 of human genes are regulated by microRNAs. The identification of microRNA (miRNA) is the precondition of discovering the regulatory mechanism of miRNA and developing the cure for genetic diseases. The traditional identificat...
